Recently, Erin from Blue Eyed Bride came into town to get a metabolic assessment through my business, FitLab, and to hang out with Lyndsey from All Things Fluffy, Fashionable, & Famous and her daughter, ALM, born just a couple months after Hudson. We had a blast together, talking, laughing, and getting to know each other better. Erin and I both had our hair curled and Lyndsey was saying she needed "help" because she hasn't curled her hair since she was about 11. When we were doing our tutorial, we realized we both had really different techniques and Erin ended up trying mine, liking it, and posting about it on Twitter, which generated a request for a video tutorial (to my complete and utter dismay).
The tweet pic that started it all:
Alright, I'm sweating I'm so embarrassed so I'm just going to hit post now...
While I HATE the sound of my own voice (it reminds me of Kermie) and while everything in me screams "Don't do it!" I'm going to post this video anyway. Mostly because I LOVE Lyndsey's accent. Oh, and disclaimer...bless you if you make it through all of our rambling. Apparently we both like to hear ourselves talk! Ha! ;-) I asked Lyndsey if I had to post BOTH videos and she said yes.

DYING!!! love it! y'all look great and i love you both!
y'all are such a hoot! this made me giggle. thank you.
oh i love you southern gals! this is so cute!
& ps. you both have amazing hair. jealous.
LOVING it!! Ha ha! I feel like I'm back at a middle school slumber party. So fun! Can I please sign up for an in-person curl lesson??
I'm totally going to admit that I have been way jealous of your hair dating back to college! Amara and I would have conversations about it! Ha! Love the video and LOVE the tips! It's a shame you don't see yourself as everyone else see's you...ADORABLE!
Y'all are super cute! I think anytime I want to feel at home I could just play this video... oh how I miss the talk of my people (LOL), but seriously -super cute, both of you -love it!
Um.... do you know HOW MUCH I love you girls!! This made me miss you both SO much!!!
Those videos were so cute! You girls are so sweet! Have you heard of an iron called a "Ginalli"? You should totally look it up. I got one & my sister (Becky) got one, but they are awesome. (if you have the time to use it) Its like a barrel curling iron, with nothing but the barrel & it gets as hot as a Chi iron. We have naturally curly hair too. I've used EVERYTHING on my hair!
Here is a girl using the Ginalli on Youtube!

cute vlog :)
It's funny how you said you liked Lyndsey's accent. I am from Alabama and I really don't even notice it! I must sound the same way!
You girls are adorable! I think you both should make a girls trip to Colorado asap. Love both of your accents! PS, what is the baby powder tip?
Y'all are so flippin' funny!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!! This is so great!! Can't wait to see y'all!
oh my goodness you guys are too cute!!! haha! :) and i LOVE your accents!! and i now will have prettier curls! thx ladies!
Looks great! You guys are so friggin cute! I'm gonna have to try this with my hair...can't remember the last time I curled it with an iron!
Oh I LOVE it! And you sound EXACTLY like how I imagined! Ha! And can you please come do my hair everyday?!?
I cannot wait tilly my hair gets a little longer so I can start curling it like this again! Thanks for the tutorial :) Also, what kind of curling iron do you use? I think that's mostly my issue...
ahhh I love love love this!!! you girls are so cute, and gorgeous, and fun! Miss yous!!! And I can't wait to try this! Hubby is taking me on a date tomorrow, maybe tomorrow is the day :)
We da bomb :) hahaha!
Love it! You guys are sooo cute! This is a great demo!
Oh you girls are so cute! I curl my hair the same way you do! I love the video blog.
So cute! I do my hair like that sometimes. When people watch me, they've asked me why I curl from the root down. Good explanation - now I can say I'm using the "Curl Down".
Happy Friday!
Y'all are too cute!
And you're making this super low-mainetance hair girl wanna go try the Curl Down!
Your hair looks so awesome! Like Bonnie said we LOOOOVE the Ginali, it's a curling iron without a clip on barrel and it works great for loose curls like this!
Lyndsey sounds JUST like I thought she would! :) (and you sound just like I thought you would!) It's funny to read your blogs and try to put a voice to the person when you've never met before!
I'm gonna have to try the "curl down" because my ends are fried! I love the Vlog!
Oh I can't wait to get home and watch those videos! (of course, I can't watch them at work! UGH!!)
oh - I so wish I lived close to you girls! I know you would be so much fun to hang out with. I remember when Lyndsey and I used to wish we could get together and drink wine and work on house projects - but maybe not at the same time! Anyway - love the hair! I have always done my the traditional way but I want to try this now. Hopefully I don't burn off my ear!
Too cute and fun!! And I love both of your accents. I have a thing with accents because I don't have one... well, I never thought I did, until I was in Chicago last summer and was told I DO. Whaaat?? Coloradoans do NOT have accents ;)
Your hair in the last pic is GORG!!
xoxo J
Y'all are so cute! I use the curl down too (that is when I actaully find time to do my hair) - LOVE IT!
Love it!! I love to hear ur voice in these videos. It's absolutely adorable!
Hilarious, yet informative! Haha... love it!
Love it! You guys both have accents! So cute! I thought Texas people have accents but both of your were strong!
LOVE this! Ya'll are so cute and funny! If I could have you as my personal hair stylist every morning I would def be growing my hair out long! Hope you are having a good weekend, girl!
Love this! Thank you for the tutorial! Also, love the accents!
Have a great weekend =)
Oh my goodness. Can I just say how much I love and miss both of you!? I think you both need to do more vlogs :)
Love the technique and can't wait to give it a try this week!! You both look gorgeous!
This is great! What brand and barrel size is the curling iron in the vlog?
So pretty! Thanks for the tips. I will def. use them!
This was really GREAT!! Loved it!! Will use it!! You both are adorable!! Amy I love your voice and Lindsay I love your accent and wit too!! Yall did a GREAT job!! Seriously!
First - ya'll are too cute. Second - THANK YOU! I've always read in magazines that you shouldn't start at the root to curl but I couldn't figure out how to do that on my own hair. Now I can totally do it! Thanks for the lesson!
This is too cute! I, like Bonnie, have the Ginalli (or whatever its called!) and it is awesome! I have a lot of hair but its very fine, soft baby like hair. So, regular irons don't do much. I would spend an hour curling all of my hair and then spray the heck out of it and they would fall out ASAP. But, these rods that dont have the clamp (you have to wrap the hair around and hold it) really do curl the hair and it totally stays with NO product! crazy talk! Anyway, just thought I'd share becuase while your vlog is vonderful (ha!) regular curling irons and hot rollers don't work for my hair... plus the rods are easier!!! :)
You two are ADORABLE! I love both of your accents! You guys should do more of these vlogs!!!!
Thanks for the hair tips. I've never curled my hair, but it looks like something I could handle!
would this work on me?
no seriously. will it?
I tried this approach for curling my hair last weekend and it works great! My hair is pretty long and the ends always dry out and get damaged quickly. This method seems to work a lot better though and makes me feel like I'm not killing my hair all the time. Thanks for the video!!

Ok ... I have been trying to figure out how to make my hair do the cute little Kardashian curl to no avail, and this could have seriously saved my life. I have curly hair, and so far in life, it either has to be totally curly or totally straight. I haven't found an in between. FINGERS CROSSED!
love it! one question... i love the size of your big curls what size is the barrel of the iron??
xo, ACL
Loved this, loved your video, thanks for the tips!!! I feel like I can do celebrity hair now. I re-posted on my blog a little love on how much I loved your video.

Loves!
After seeing everyone tweets this week about the "curl down" I just HAD to check it out. Love it! Y'all have the BEST hair and now I'm totally jealous. I have thick hair that's a crazy mix of extra curly, wavy, and stick straight so summers in Louisiana are brutal. Take that back, any time is brutal given my insane hair. Needless to say, I hate battling it! I will definitely give this a try. Love that I can let it air dry!!
Thanks for sharing. You both made me smile :-)
Yall are precious! I'm watching the "curl down" at Erin's recommendation. Looks great. I have TONS of hair - I dont know that I have the patience to do this, but I'm going to try.
Elizabeth
loved this! thanks so much!
I LOVE this. I'm totally bald (um, slight exaggeration) and recently found the trick to keeping style. Don't use conditioner the day you want to curl, poof, or rock the Velcro rollers. Avoid making hair soft. I typically find that curl stays roughly 5 seconds in my 3 hairs, but I totally want to try this sometime soon!
Fun videos! A huge THANK YOU for posting these, as I have always been clueless when it comes to curling my hair. This worked great! :)
Thanks for the vlog! Not only was it entertaining but informative! I've been trying to wear my hari like this FOREVER and it never looks right. I tried this technique this mornng and so far, SUCCESS!! Thanks ladies!! Please do another vlog very soon!!
I saw a link to the "curl down" method on another site and just had to check it out - saw it, tried it, loved it!
I just got here through a blog that linked to yours, and I gotta say, I went straight home and tried this method and LOVE IT. I'm 28 years old, and honestly, this is the first time I feel like I've known HOW to curl my hair. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
Just hopped here from another blog. I have tight curly hair, BUT, my husband and I are also Dusty and Amy :).
Thank you! I know now how to properly curl my hair! Awesome.
